Are you sitting quite comfortably?
Then I'll begin.
And the Home Service
will be on the air at 6:45,
with a market report for farmers.
No, no, I'm the treasurer
of the Picnic Committee.
The treasurer?
Answers, please.
Not to me, but to our producer.
Cheerio! See you next week!
- Good night, Dad.
- Good night, James. Straight to bed.
- Good night, Mum.
- Good night, James. Sleep tight!
Off with the lights now, please.
It's 9:
00 at nightand the dull dudes on the planet
sipping their sherries,
but the people who love to rock and to roll
are ready to ride
the rock 'n' roller-coaster once more.
You are listening to Radio Rock and I'm
the Count, and I'm counting on you,
as we count down to ecstasy
and rock all day and all of the night.
- How much longer?
- No time at all. There she is.
Where she is?
There she is.
- I'm here to see Quentin.
- Come, come.
Enter.
- Carl?
- Yes.
My favourite godson.
- Have we met before?
- I don't think so.
No. There was a lost decade,
so I always have to check.
- How's your mum?
- She's fine.
Not over-fond of me at the moment.
She's a very attractive woman.
- Well, I...
- No, seriously.
I mean, to you, she's your mum,
but to people of my age,
she's a sexual legend.
So...
Expelled?
- That's right.
- What for?
I suppose smoking was the clincher.
Drugs or cigarettes?
Well, both.
Well done.
Proud of you.
So your mum sent you here in the hope that
a little bracing sea air would sort you out?
- Something like that.
- Spectacular mistake.
But, if you don't drown, we can at least help
you to give up smoking and drug-taking.
I just have and I feel so much better for it.
Cigarette?
No, thank you.
Spliff?
Excuse me, everyone.
Could I introduce Carl, my godson?
Welcome aboard. I'm the Count.
I must be obeyed.
It's an honour.
Hi, Carl.
Don't miss Simple Simon's
Super Sunday Smashes. I'm Simon.
That's why I just said that.
Hi, I'm Angus "The Nut" Nutsford.
Hello there.
I'm John, News and Information Gathering.
Hi, I'm Felicity.
- I didn't think girls were...
- I'm a lesbian.
Who cooks.
- Of course.
- Have a piece of toast.
- Could I have a Mars?
- Don't touch those, I've just arranged them.
Do you... Do you know what a lesbian is?
- I do.
- Fun times, eh?
Anyone, toast, toast?
I'm Thick Kevin.
- Your delightful roommate.
- Great. I'm Carl.
- Cool name.
- Why Thick Kevin?
- I don't...
- It's 'cause he's really, really thick.
This is, of course, Dave.
Wow.
Big, but very beautiful.
Welcome to the Boat of Love.
You know,
if God were a DJ, he'd be on this station.
Let's have a tune, I'm sick of this silence.
And that was the sound of someone
who missed last Sunday's chart show.
Don't go mad
and shoot yourself in the head.
Listen to Simple Simon's show...
Why am I queuing up my own records?
While I was swimming,
I passed by a squirrel.
I just broke the knob off the record player.
Let's do it right now. I'm busting for a wee.
A small knob. I like it.
I said, "Mr Squirrel,
why are you swimming on your back?"
Voil!
"Well, I swim on my back
to keep my nuts dry. "
I'm on fire! All right, I'm out.
You're probably still at school,
it's 20 to 3:
00.in which case, good on you.
- Carl?
- Yes.
- How you doing?
- Are you nervous?
- A little bit.
- Come over here. Yeah, come over here.
- There?
Come on.
Welcome. Turn around.
Now get the f*** out.
Okay, so the Tuesday night of fun
starts here. We're ready...
- We're ready. Gather 'round.
- Steam, steam, steam, steam.
Okay, so the teams are Dave and the Count
versus Young Carl and Thick Kevin.
Okay?
Don't worry, it's not because
I'm actually thick that I'm called Thick Kevin,
it's just a nickname.
That's right. So, who wants to go first?
- Wanna guess?
I'll guess, fine.
All right, who's going? Big Bad Dave.
No looking.
Easy. Your president.
- What?
- Your president.
- Lyndon Johnson.
- Yes!

And the actor who plays.
"Hello, I'm James Bond. "
The actor who plays 007... Yes!

- Quickly, quickly. Time, time, time.
- Hello, I'm a Beatle.
- I'm one of the Beatles.
- Time, time, time, no, no, no, no.
- That one doesn't count.
- That was gonna be good.
That's 6 to 0.
I feel good about this one.

F***ing genius.
He's just nervous.
Not so much a hat.
Something that's at the top of a coat
and attached to the coat
and covers the head, but is not a hat.

Why didn't you just say he lived in
Sherwood Forest and has a bow and arrow?
Yeah? What? Who are you talking about?
Robin Hood.

Counting down.
Right, hang on, no. Tricky one.

- Nice guy?
Yes, very nice guy.
